KATO STI Gages

Precision that ensures Accuracy.

KATO CoilThread STI (Screw Thread Insert) Thread Plug Gages are designed to check the accuracy of the internal thread of an STI tapped hole. Gaging the tapped hole prior to installation of the insert is critical to ensure the accuracy of the finished thread. If the tapped hole gauges correctly, the finished thread will also be accurate once the insert is properly installed and seated.

It is not necessary to gage the installed insert. Gaging of the tapped thread is specified because a standard gage may not freely enter an installed insert. The insert will seat itself once a bolt or screw is installed and tightened (Ref. NASM33537). In fact, it is not possible to gage a locking type insert because of the locking coil.

KATO offers two types of STI Thread Plug Gages (for unified sizes):

Working Gages

Recommended for production use since their greater tolerance allows for more wear.

Reference Gages

Pitch diameters at or very close to the basic size and are to be used as master gages.

KATO CoilThread Gages include a "GO" and "HI" (NO GO) member. The Working Gage "GO" member has a 0.0002 wear allowance on the pitch diameter. The "GO" member checks the basic pitch diameter, major diameter minimum and lead. The "HI" member checks the maximum pitch diameter. The minor diameter must be checked separately with a graduated pin set.

Please Note:

The Working Gage "GO" member has a .0002 wear allowance on the pitch diameter.

Gaging of the tapped thread is specified because a standard gage may not freely enter an installed insert. The insert will seat itself once a bolt or screw is installed and tightened.

The "GO" member checks basic pitch diameters, major diameter minimum and lead. The "HI" member checks maximum pitch diameter. Minior diameter is checked separately with a graduated pin set, for example.

The Class of Fit specifies the pitch diameter tolerance of the tapped hole, with class 3B (Unified) and 4H (Metric) being the tighter range usually specified in military/aerospace applications.Class 2B (Unified) and 5H (Metric) gages have a broader tolerance range and are normally specified in commerical/industrial applications.
